Title: Which concerto is this please??
Post by: Richard Moss on Sunday 06 November 2022, 16:08
Whilst re-cataloguing my CDs, I came to an old Turnabout CD (cat no. 30371 00462) with two early piano concertos by Beethoven (No. 0 in E flat maj and a 'one movement' very early piece in D maj (attr.) and which also contains a piano concerto by JL Dussek.  This last is shown on the inlay as P969 in B-flat major - its mvmts are I. Allegro 12'40, II. Larghetto 4'27 and Rondo (allegro ma non tanto) 5'00.

The numbering of Dussek's works seems (to me) very dubious/confusing at the very least and I can find no references at all to 'P' cataloguing - just 'CRAW and Opus numbers.  As his work list (WIKI and IMSLP) contains more than one work in B flat maj, I'd appreciate it very much if anyone can clarify which particular work this is.

Many thanks

Richard

It's the op.22 Concerto, Richard.  I have the original Turnabout LP.

Agreed.  It's Craw #97.  You can compare the score on IMSLP.  IMSLP lists it as #5, Craw as #7.

Glad to see that I'm not the only who still has LPs, Terry!  :)
